Those tricksy Amazonians! The Kindle Touch 3G will have an experimental browser
built-in but it will only run on Wi-Fi, not 3G. Browsing over 3G has been
supported since the first Kindle and, to be fair, the experience was

or Wi-Fi.
You’ll also note that they’re calling the old Kindle the “Kindle Keyboard.”
Here’s hoping they don’t make a Kindle Keyboard for Kids.
